Hi everyone:
SpaceCam was activated for a few orbits Yesterday
August 12. I posted a few pictures on the Marex web
page.
Special thanks to:
M0ZLB

Icom IC-706MkIIG
MMSSTV Format Robot 36.
The down link was on 145.800 MHZ. There is NO uplink
at this time.
I just received word that SpaceCam will also be
activated around 1600 UTC on August 13, 2006. SSTV
activity will be intermittent while the crew still
perform other testing.
Good Luck and keep those images coming.
